Brrr. Make these cable fingerless mitts your besties as the weather turns chilly. 

The alpaca-mix yarn from Rowan gives a soft and snug finish. This knitting pattern is ideal for knitters who have used cables before, using a cute combo of forward and backward cables to create an 'XOXO' effect along the back of the mitts. 

Perfect for some knitty compliments all around as you dash into town for the essential weekly shop, or popping to get your takeaway coffee.

These are knitted flat, and seamed once you've finished. The seams aren't noticeable when wearing, and you'll find it easier to keep track through the pattern knowing that one row is purl-based and the next knit-based.

cable knitting
knit and purl stitch
sewing seams

Size of finished cuffs:
21cm (8.5") high, 20cm (8") around the wrist/cuff (with ribbing there's a lot of stretch)

If you're in the UK or Europe, we can send you a kit with everything you need to knit these mitts
And the Rowan Felted Tweed DK is in the shop too, if you'd like to add extra yarn to your basket to knit up more pairs.

NOTE: These are knitted flat, as every row is different and you'll find it easier to keep track knowing that one row is purl-based and the next knit-based.
